Nakayama's Lemma on $\textbf{Act}-S$
Abstract
A crucial lemma on module theory is Nakayama's lemma \cite{AF}. In this article, we shall investigate some forms of Nakayama's lemma in the category of right acts over a given monoid with identity 1. More precisely, among other things, we show that equality for some proper ideal of implies , when is a finitely generated quasi-strongly faithful -act with unique zero element and is a monoid in which its unique maximal right ideal is two-sided. Furthermore, as an application of Nakayama's lemma we prove Krull intersection theorem for -acts. Finally, as a consequence, we shall see a homological classification form of this lemma, i.e, we prove if is a commutative monoid then every projective -act is free if and only if , which is the set of all idempotents of .
